Robotican Unveils Armed ROOSTER Configuration - First Indoor & Outdoor Loitering Munition with AI-Based Targeting
Equipped with a 300g warhead, AI-driven object recognition, and safety mechanisms, the ROOSTER transforms into a precision indoor strike asset.
Robotican, a leading Israeli pioneer in the development of autonomous robotic and drone technologies, has introduced a powerful new capability for its combat-proven ROOSTER hybrid drone system: a precision-guided warhead, turning the ROOSTER into a loitering munition designed specifically for indoor missions and urban operation.
The newly integrated configuration includes a total payload capacity of up to 300-gr enabling the installation of a precision warhead alongside additional mission-specific payloads. This allows the ROOSTER to deliver high-precision engagement inside buildings, tunnels, and confined environments. Retaining its signature hybrid design, the ROOSTER can seamlessly switch between rolling and flying, allowing it to navigate tight spaces and deliver targeted strikes with minimal collateral damage.
This breakthrough capability is supported by AI-based object detection and target Tracking & locking, enabling the ROOSTER to autonomously identify, track, and lock on to user operator objects or threats. A built-in multi-layered safety mechanism ensures secure handling and controlled activation, protecting friendly forces throughout operation.
"With the armed ROOSTER, we are bringing precision and autonomy to environments that were previously off-limits to loitering munitions," said Hagai Balshai, CEO of Robotican. "Forces can now conduct surgical strikes inside structures with a compact, intelligent platform that minimizes risk to operators and surrounding civilians."
The armed ROOSTER expands the system's mission scope beyond ISR, rescue, and inspection to include neutralization of threats in urban warfare, subterranean operations, and hostage rescue scenarios- all while maintaining the system's lightweight, single-operator portability and NATO-registered reliability. Thanks to its modular design and mission-specific payload integration, the ROOSTER offers unmatched operational flexibility, allowing forces to configure the system for diverse operational requirements, from intelligence gathering to precision engagement. This adaptability significantly increases its tactical utility in dynamic and unpredictable combat environments.
